#1 zombiegleemax Oct 12, 2003 18:03:36	Ok everyone, lets put our thinking hats on and try to Cast what will be the best movie ever!!! See if you can come up with some good ideas... Start with the Chronicles. Raistlin: Caroman: Tanis: Sturm Kitiara: Flint: Goldmoon: Tas: Riverwind: Laurana: Fizban: Verminaard: Fewmaster Toede: Otik: Etc...... If you think of anymore characters to cast post them too!
#2 zombiegleemax Oct 12, 2003 18:29:51	Riverwind: Paul Hoggan Fizban: Sir Ian McKellan (It fits so well!)
#3 sweetmeats Oct 12, 2003 19:33:51	Tanis: Eric Stoltz. Raistlin: Joseph Fiennes.
#4 zombiegleemax Oct 12, 2003 20:04:36	Sturm: Magnum P.I. (I mean Tom Selleck), or Gabriel Byrn Flint: hate to say, but John Rhys Davis All I can think of now.
#5 zombiegleemax Oct 12, 2003 22:05:32	Tanis: Hugh Jackman Kitiara: Kristiana Loken
#6 dragontooth Oct 13, 2003 1:00:20	Originally posted by K_Man Sturm: Magnum P.I. (I mean Tom Selleck), or Gabriel Byrn Tom Selleck as Sturm? That man is like 60 years old. Well maybe not old, but he is an old fart, way older then what Sturm is suppost to be. I think all the actors/actress should be unknown, except maybe one or 2 big stars for attention. Get a good director and the movie should be great.
#7 zombiegleemax Oct 13, 2003 8:46:41	Raislin: Edward Norton And thats all I can think of...
#8 carteeg Oct 13, 2003 8:55:57	Here we go again. Raistlin: James Marsters (regardless of his supposed age; but considering Raist's health, an older actor probably isn't an issue). Verminaard: Vin Diesel (a cornball over-the-top performance is needed for the cornball over-the-top persona Mr. Sevil Draanim Rev puts forward as head of the reds). Fizban: Geofrey Rush or John Cleese (they got the knack for comedy, the ability to go straight-faced when need be, and they also have the ability to the energy into the performance.)
#9 spike81101 Oct 13, 2003 9:42:49	Raislin: Edward Norton I've got to agree here. If you saw him in "" it makes me really imagine him as Raistlin. Caroman: Doesn't this also have to be Edward Norton? He's the type that can look large in one shot and small in another. Tanis: Tim Robbins Sturm: Yeah, Tom selick in his prime would been good. Kitiara: Jennifer Love Hewitt Flint: Dwarves are no names most of the time LOL. Goldmoon: Salma Hayek Tas: This had to be a child actor, since kender look like children, can't think of one. Riverwind: The rock Laurana: Drew Berrymore Fizban: Leslie Nielsen Verminaard: Val Kilmer Fewmaster Toede: Can't think of one Otik: Danny Devito
#10 lugnut71 Oct 13, 2003 10:02:15	I like the idea of Vin Disel it makes me laugh a lot.
#11 shugi Oct 13, 2003 11:33:57	Vin Diesel is a gamer, after all... I think he draws appeal for that reason. I liked The Rundown, but I started laughing at The Rock playing Riverwind. The idea isn't as far-fetched as I first thought, as long as they cover his tats of course. I think we should all be extras, too.
#12 cam_banks Oct 13, 2003 12:47:11	Insert popular actor from popular movie here. Cheers, Cam
#13 zombiegleemax Oct 13, 2003 13:12:06	Yeah, Tom Selleck is older than Sturm, but hey, Sturm is SUPPOSED to look 45 or so. Sellick is almost 60, but that is what make-up is for.
#14 brimstone Oct 13, 2003 13:26:35	Wait, wait, I've got it! Arnold Schwartzeneger - Caramon Orlando Bloom - Gilthanas John Rhyes-Davis - Flint Elijah Wood - Tas Sean Bean - Sturm Viggo Mortensen - Tanis Liv Tyler - Laurana (blonde, of course) Brad Dourif - Raistlin Marc Singer - Riverwind Ian McKellen - Fizban etc., etc., etc.... Seriously...as tired as these thread get...you all should really realize that getting people like this is a really bad idea. A Chronicles movie already runs the risk of being labled as a LotR rip-off. Taking characters from said movie is not going to help Chronicle's case at all. Not to mention...the only person in the history of cinema who has been able to pull off the double-iconic character role successfully is Harrison Ford. And that's probably only due to the fact that they didn't start off as iconic characters...they became them after the fact.
#15 zombiegleemax Oct 13, 2003 14:00:38	John Rhyes-Davis - Flint This one is actually brilliant. I think that using no-name actors is a bad idea in such an important movie. It would give it the feel of a low budget movie, and almost all low budget movies are bad. Big -name famous actors are tha way to go here (none of this was said in sarcasm.)
#16 brimstone Oct 13, 2003 14:26:38	Originally posted by The_Dark_One I think that using no-name actors is a bad idea in such an important movie. I didn't say use "no-name actors." I said don't use previous estabilished iconic characters. Example: It would be a really bad idea to have the actor who played the Dwarf of the Fellowship of the Ring to also play the Dwarf of the Companions of the Lance. The worst one I've seen though is Ian McKellen as Fizban. Hell...why don't we do a Forgotten Realms movie and have Ian McKellen play Elminster, too. I mean, do you guys realize how ridiculed this movie will be? I'm very worried...it's going to be considered a rip-off by the un-informed...because on paper...it can easily be made to look so. Chronicles - LotR 9 Companions - 9 Fellowship Elves live in forests - Elves live in Forests Dwarves live in mountains - Dwarves live in mountains Solace - Lothlorien High Clerist Battle - Battle for Helm's Deep (movie version) High Clerist Tower has never fallen while men of faith defend it - Helm's Deep has never fallen while men of Rohan defend it Gully Dwarves - Gollum I could go on but there's no need. As you can see...they look similar when things are taken out of context like this (which movie critics LOVE to do...especially if they want to see a movie fail). I think there's going to be a back lash on fantasy movies here in a few years (cause I'm sure that LotR has inspired many to be made...that we'll see starting next year). I hope I'm wrong... Anyway...all of this is leading to me saying that choosing actors from the afore mentioned trilogy to play key characters in the Chronicles movie will only help to make matters worse.
#17 zombiegleemax Oct 13, 2003 15:12:12	Actually I said Sir Ian as a joke. Haha? Funny?:D Geesh no sense of humor. Don't worry, man, its not like our picks will affect the movie. Nor is it like the movie is being produced anytime soon. Half of these picks are just silly. Really, you need no names for a movie like this. If not no names, B-Listers who are never mentioned on E!. Vin Deisel? Edward Norton? They're not fantasy heroes. People will watch the movie and say "Hey its the guy from Fast and the Furious!" or "Dude its the Fight Cub guy!". But again since we have no input on such things go on and have fun everybody!
#18 brimstone Oct 13, 2003 15:48:59	Originally posted by L33t Angel Actually I said Sir Ian as a joke. Haha? Funny?:D Geesh no sense of humor. Actually...I did see that anyone on this list had picked him. I was speaking from experience and seeing what people have said before. I didn't even really look at any of the posts on this thread very close...I wasn't trying to single anyone out. Just stating in general.
#19 zombiegleemax Oct 13, 2003 21:54:34	If the movie for Dragonlance were to be made, to avoid much of the LOTR comparisons, perhaps it would be best to do it as the Legend of Huma, instead of the Chronicles (though I would love to see the Chronicles as a movie, seeing how hollywood usually operates, we would all probably leave the theater thinking, "why did I just waste my money on that?" They would screw up the timeline, the chacters probably would be lacking in their true depths, and the story would most likely be altered to fit into an alloted time frame. The LOTR had some fairly significant changes in it from the books, and while it is well done, it falls short of the true story of Frodo and Strider.) So, under the recommendation of doing it as the LoH, I'd say I am not sure who to cast as Huma, and Arnold is most likely going to be to busy to be in any new movies for a while, so...Mark Hamill as Galan Dracos, the guy who played the main character in speed 2 (i forget his name) as Bennet, Tom Selek as Lord Avondale, Brendan Fraser as Bouron, the Rock as Kaz or Cyranus, Sean Connery as Lord Oswal, Donald Sutherland as the Grey Man.
#20 zombiegleemax Oct 15, 2003 11:28:00	What about an animated series like Record of Lodoss War ? Start with Chronicles- 26 half-hour episodes would fit nicely for the trilogy I think. Then you would only need voice actors.
#21 shugi Oct 15, 2003 13:12:14	A unique idea would be to bypass Chronicles altogether (except for the necessary set-up) and go straight into Legends, using flashbacks to fill in various gaps as needed. Obviously a few characters would have reduced roles and the anti-Raistlin camp probably wouldn't like it, but it could be a semi-fresh take on the fantasy cliche.
#22 kalanth Oct 15, 2003 13:21:44	Fewmaster Toede: John Lequazomo (sp). This man has great range, and this would be a wonderful role for him.
#23 zombiegleemax Oct 15, 2003 15:14:25	Lord Soth: A computer-generated character with the voice of James Earl Jones (because he should be in every movie ever made).
#24 zombiegleemax Oct 15, 2003 22:06:16	All I have to say is this that whatever happens the movie better not become anything like Dungeons and Dragons the movie. I'm sure everyone remembers how that went over. As if it wasn't bad enough when the religious inquisition nearly killed gaming during the late 1980's. They produce a movie that in some opinions proves the fanatics right. If anything, only good actors, veteran gamers, dragonlance authors, and producers will be able to pull it off considering we live in an era of Backstreet Boys and people with stagnant imaginations. See you on the next entry.
#25 zombiegleemax Oct 16, 2003 15:48:38	Kitiara: Kim Delaney Verminaard: Vin Diesel Laurana: Jamie Pressley Tika: Kate Hudson Caramon: David Hasselhoff Sturm: Dean Cain (with a mustache) Berem: Harrison Ford that's all I can think of:D
#26 zombiegleemax Oct 16, 2003 16:26:47	danny deveto and vin desial were good ideas tanis: that guy um whatziz face . . . . . . .orlando bloom!
#27 carteeg Oct 16, 2003 17:26:43	Okay, on the A-list to insure this would be a movie I would be too afraid to watch (with the exception of the casting for Tanis): Kitiara - Angelina Jolie Goldmoon - Sarah Michelle Geller Laurana - Naomi Watts Riverwind - David Tasslehoff... err... Hasslehoff Fizban - Dustin Hoffman Flint - Danny Devito Tasslehoff - Haley Joel Osment Tika - Nicole Kidman Theros - Denzel Washington Hedrick - Christopher Walken Raistlin - Ed Norton Caramon - Kevin Sorbo Otik - Dom Deluise Dezra - Kathy Bates Verminaard - Hayden Christensen (with James Earl Jones' voice) Gilthanas - Leo Dicaprio Porthios - Billy Zane Silvart - Halley Berry Lorac - Gregory Peck (yeah, I know he's dead, but they pretty much need to just pose him and use two lines of ventriloquism.) Voice of Mishakal - Phyllis Diller ("Yeah! Go get those disks down stairs. It should be no sweat. Ha-HA-haha!") Lord Soth - Sylvester Stallone ("Yo Kit!") Toede - Martin Short (Is there really a difference between Toede and Glick?) Marquesta - Grace Jones Bakaris - Keanu Reeves Derek - Alex Winter Aaron - Jeremy Piven Bupu - Carol Kane Ariakas - Bruce Willis Voice of Takhisis - Cher Tanis - A pair of rolled up dirty sweat socks Okay, maybe all of them aren't A-list, but good enough.
#28 zombiegleemax Oct 16, 2003 20:44:18	hmm dont you think that lord soth is too dark for selvester stalone Lord Soth - Sylvester Stallone ("Yo Kit!")
#29 carteeg Oct 17, 2003 6:10:40	Hrmm... maybe. How about we move Sly over to being a voice actor for Khellendros, and put Michael Keaton into Soth's shoes? And how about: Gunthar- Peter Boyle ("PUDDIN UN DA REEEEEETZ!")
#30 zombiegleemax Oct 17, 2003 12:26:50	Lord Soth: Computer generated with Jeremy Irons voice.
#31 zombiegleemax Oct 17, 2003 14:26:36	dunno are you going to produce the movie? i really dont know who you are so, being a famous director and being able to do this but just getting ideas would make you more prone to make the decisions than me heh:D
#32 dragontooth Oct 17, 2003 17:18:34	Kevin Sorbo as Caramon? Yikes that guy is as bad as Mel Gibson as Caramon. He is OLD!! Lets have actors/actresses that are relatively close age wise to the character they are playing. Isn't that hard to find a muscle machine pea brain young actor to play a muscle machine pea brain character.
#33 zombiegleemax Oct 17, 2003 17:23:29	Okay.....99% of all the casting ideas I have just read came very close to making me never want to see Hollywood get their hands on my precious DL. The suggestions so far have been a tad on the ridiculous side. I mean come on.....Do you really want to see Danny DeVito in Dragonlance? That is most certainly not the picture I have in my head of Otik. Must admit though....I rather liked the idea of Tom Selleck though....but not as Sturm. Having Selleck as Gunthar uth Wistan sounds better. I like the idea of some well known actors...not too many.....but not in the major roles. Maybe one.....if they actually are a good fit for the part. I think I actually saw a post that said Drew Barrymore should be playing Laurana.....how on earth does Drew fit that part? Honestly.....I seriously hope that those in charge of casting a film adaptation of DL would look for the best people for the part...not star power.
#34 zombiegleemax Oct 17, 2003 20:18:50	well put!:D
#35 zombiegleemax Oct 17, 2003 22:42:24	I don't know his name, but I tihk that the dude that played Hagrid in Harry Potter would be great as Flint. The dude that played Gimli might be good as a VA, but flint had black hair, and whenever I look at Hagrid, I think that he looks just like a *HUGE* Flint, if you put him in armor.
#36 alakar Oct 18, 2003 0:32:43	Though i realy have no ideas for the cast, me and my friends have mused over the sound track for dragon lance. Songs that fit the characters. Raistlin: Tear Away ( drowning pool) Tanis: Unforgivin ( Metallica) Sturm: In the end ( linkin park) Kit: Bring the Violence ( disturbed) Theode: Scum of the Earth ( rob zombie) And some others i can't think of. Anyways, i just thought this would be a good place to put this.
#37 zombiegleemax Oct 18, 2003 11:54:56	hmmm the ideas about songtracts for the characters is good but . . . Sturm: In the end ( linkin park) LINIKIN PARK?!?!?!?! why oh why, linikin park?
#38 zombiegleemax Oct 18, 2003 17:27:31	Drew Barrymore as Laurana? She makes about 3 Lauranas, and really can't act worth a spit.
#39 zombiegleemax Oct 18, 2003 20:14:30	and really can't act worth a spit. HERE HERE!
#40 brimstone Oct 20, 2003 15:51:31	Didn't Margaret Weis say she'd like to see James Marsters (Spike from Buffy: The Vampire Slayer) play Raistlin? Or did I get the wrong actor? Whoever it was...it was someone from B:TVS...I thought she was talking about Spike...but I might be mistaken. Anyone with the Bronze Canticles Preview DVD could double check me on this...Margaret mentions it in her interview.
#41 zombiegleemax Oct 24, 2003 10:04:49	Well, guess I got late for the general discussion and I have to confess that I have not read with much atention all of the posts. I would have to agree with the many people who said that "big names" would spoil the movie. But at least some names would have to be included so the movie wouldn´t be labeled as "B". For the Raistlin role, I agree that Edward Norton would be perfetc, but that brings in a problem. Let´s not forget that he is Caramon's twin and so they must look like one another (except for the phisical and skin tone). Anyway, make-up od SFX can fix that just fine. For Caramon I guess that the guy who played Colossus in X2 would be a good option, but since I have never seen him in any other movie I cannot say anything about his acting skills, so... Fizban should be played by a good actor, but not by any "huge star" as Sean Connery... hey, forget that... Connery would do fine as Fizban, wouldn't he? Anyway, I've read some posta that suggested that The Rock would play Riverwind. I guess that was a joke, because The Rock is huge... I mean, he could even be Caramon, but never Riverwind, who is strong allright, but exceptionally tall and not very... muscular. The females should all of them be unknown actresses. They all should be stunningly beautifull, especially Lauranna and Goldmoon, but they would also have to act with excelence... I guess that is the reason why producers are so very considerated... it is a difficult task this one of casting. I hope I have not offended anyone, and if I did, I apologise. Adieu
#42 zombiegleemax Oct 24, 2003 12:25:37	Hmmm, how many threads have been on this subject? I think that Stuart Townsend would be perfect for Raistlin, he is thin and could easily be made to look sickly. His voice is also excellent, making his sound raspy, bitter, and sarcastic would be very simple. Bernard Hill would make an excellent Gunthar, the only thing I would question might be was his part to big and too similar in Lord of the Rings to fit him in DL. Or maybe R. Lee Ermey as Gunthar? That would be interesting...but a little too comical. David Wenham could make a great Tanis, but same question as above. Ethan Hawke as Sturm. But would he be too old? I know Sturm is supposed to look worn and weary, and older than he is...but I'm not sure exactly how that would be pulled off. Eliza Dushku as Kitiara, it would be typecasting...but she'd fit. Alhana could be played by Jessica Biel. I hate to say it, but, Sara Michelle Gellar as Laurana or Goldmoon? I'd say she has range enough to do either, and to take Laurana from child-like elf-maiden to the Golden General. Caramon and Tas would probably be the hardest to cast...I can't think of anyone off hand that would fit either...maybe Justin Burfield as Tas, I don't know. That's it for now, Shade
#43 zombiegleemax Oct 24, 2003 16:39:01	casting tas would be hard . . . he is quite short after all and the innocence and irrepresibleness . . . you get the idea

I guess that was a joke, because The Rock is huge... I mean, he could even be Caramon, but never Riverwind, who is strong allright, but exceptionally tall and not very... muscular. Since when hasn't Riverwind been muscular? The pictures of him that I've seen admittadly don't show off his muscles...but then again, he (surprisingly, considering he lies in the Palins of Dust) is always drawn fully clothed, so I have no idea really if he's muscular or not.

He is muscular alright, but not as much as Caramon. You can see in the old boxed set (where there were the heros character profile cards) that he doesn't have a high constitution score, as do Caramon... I just think that if the Rock would play Riverwind than they would need to use computer graphics to draw Caramon (not green HULK, perhaps) lol... anyway, these are just ideas.
#47 Phantymwolf Oct 28, 2003 11:58:49	Actually I think that many of the posts hit the nail on the head when they said no-name or little known actors for the DL movie. Granted they had some star power behind LotR, but it wasn't overboard. Some of the ideas for stars I have seen I do like however, James Marsters or Edward Norton (especially Edward Norton) for Raist would be awesome. Personally I have ALWAYS seen Tanis played by Kiefer Sutherland (anyone who has seen the Disney version of The 3 Musketeers understands this). Anyway, also I have always had a small crush on Laurana (ok so I'm wierd), and though I think Jaime Pressly is hot I am not sure if she could pull off Laurana....and whoever suggested Drew Barrymore should face horrible horrible tortures....... Other than this I cannot see any big named actors in my DL movies without them it up. Just my two steel pieces
#48 shugi Oct 28, 2003 13:56:44	I still think Eric Stoltz looks like a wonderful Tanis, primarily if you've seen Rob Roy (though he wasn't in much of the movie).
#49 zombiegleemax Nov 24, 2003 21:46:55	First off, I have to make sure that some of you were joking. I mean Nicole Kidman as Tika? Since when did she have "breasts the size of breadloves"? Hell Halle Berry as Silvart???? Silvart? Black? WTF???? This is why poeple make fun of people like us. If someone was serious on this, how do you think Sigourney Weaver, or (and I do not mean to mention both of the Aliens Res poeple,) Winona Ryder? Siq has the hieght and kinda scariyness needed to make this role come alive, but Winona has the body. With what they do with special effexts now a day wouldn't it be cool to see someone like Ed Norton be able to be frail old Raistlin and big and buff Caramon? I like the Sean Connory as what's his nuts.. How about Brad Pitt as Tanis? I also like what the one guy said about LoTR and Dragonlance being very close, and none of the actors form one should do the other, but Sir Ean McKellen woul be awesom as Astinus.

#51 zombiegleemax Nov 25, 2003 8:00:23	Brad Pitt as Tanis??? well, I guess that is almost weird at first thought... but then again he is a versatile actor and I guess he could make it allright. The thing with not so known actors is that i would considerably decrease the production costs making it a more "makeble" project. Of course that it would be cool to see the greatest stars playing our most beloved characters... I caught myself thinking that denzell washington would play an excelent Theros, what do you think? And how about Gilthanas? Orlando Bloom is out of question in my mind... But that prissley chick as Lauralanthasa would be nice I guess, since she is stunningly beautiful, as lauranna should be... Drew Barrimore... don´t think so, for none of the characters except for Tika... BTW, I don´t remember who said that Nicole Kiedmann should play Tika has probably said that because of her curled hair in that Satanic-Lawyers movie, devil's advocate(if I remember correctly). ImSnooker, that idea of yours about Ed. Norton playing both Raistlin AND Caramon, I have to tell you... man that would be something great to be seen. Really, i kept wondering about that and it would be really, reaaaally cool... nice shot! Well, I guess I like to write a lot and I will now stop helping to injure your eyes as you must have spent too much time in front of your PCs already. Tchau e até mais!

If I had to pick something wellknown, that is. To sum up: I think that we can all agree what they should use some Not-so-well-known actors for a possible dragonlance movie project. the best suggestion I have heard so far os james masters. I really really have any ideas about which actors I would like to see in which roles, except for Robin Williams as fizban, Wayne knight as Toede and N'sync as the first three goblins who gets killed outside solace in chapter one, and who are later cut out due to fan pressure. Again seriously I would go with more or less anonymes guys and gals. Like Peter Haber and Peter Stomare Channon Roe The guy from 28 days later (can't remember his name) And A bunch of unknown yuong promissing theatrical or telvision actors. Of course it is diffecult for me to see who is known and unknown in hollywood since I live about 11.000 km from it. Though i realy have no ideas for the cast, me and my friends have mused over the sound track for dragon lance. Songs that fit the characters Alakar again. I think this is also an important issue that should be mentioned. I think that Michael Kamen would be an obvius chioce, but for me the DL mood is also strongly represented in some of 90's great rockbands. I would especially like to see billy corgan being in on this, he did a great job on "spun" (jonas aakerlund's pictures, sweet) I Also think that Daniel Breenare (lake of tears) would be a good chioce.
#53 zombiegleemax Nov 25, 2003 11:17:18	I hate to type cast, but for Theros, I would go Ving Rhames or Michael Clark Duncan...Theros is huge. Also Orlando Bloom as Gilthanas? I don't know man...that guy bugs me to death.
#54 zombiegleemax Nov 25, 2003 12:13:25	Guess I wrote too much and yet, said little. I also think that Orlando Bloom would not fit the character. I liked him in LOTR but he was the only elf I think that was near elvish features. Even Liv tyler I thought that was a bit weird for that role. Fact is, she is hot... elves may be hot, but I think they tendo to be more "mignon", if you know what I mean... But that's for the elven women, for the guys I don´t really think that it matters so much, as long as none try to convince us to have Vin Diesel as an elf...

#58 zombiegleemax May 17, 2004 13:16:36	Jennifer Love Hewitt is waaay too scrawny to play Kitiara. Jen is a bone. ~~~

Tika Waylan: Christina Hendricks!!! She's a hot red head who guest starred on a couple Firefly shows as a hot little firey red headed theif named Saphrin (or Saphron or something like that). Nice beautiful full figured gal...she'd be the perfect fit for Tika...and she can act.

I have always envisioned Christopher Lloyd from back to the future. But I see a lot of names for these characters, who by the way are SUPPOSED TO BE IN THEIR EARLY 20'S!!! that are pretty old...
#61 zombiegleemax May 18, 2004 0:25:08	i was watching the movie 'Low Riders" and i thought if their was a way to go back in time and get Denis Hopper he would be perfected for the role as Sturm Well here are some other ideas i have Tanis: Eric Stoltz Rasitlin: James Marsters Caramon: Diedrich Bader Flint: Brendan Gleeson Tasslehoff: Marla Sokoloff Laurana: Scarlett Johansson Tika: Reiko Aylesworth Sturm: Cillian Murphy Goldmoon: Jessica Alba Riverwind: Steve Valentine Theros: Djimon Hounsou Kitiara: Sarah Clarke Fizbin : John Mahoney Lord Soth: Nick Parisho Otik : Tom Cruise Well you will see by my casting i did not use top name actors, i mean some of the casting was just plan dumb Flint play by Danny DeVito why becuz he is short well some of these actors you should know but for the others use Imdb.com
#62 edgelett May 18, 2004 1:43:39	Raistlin would have to be played by Quentin Tarrentino...he looks evil even when he's smiling!!!

Anyway...some of your ideas are very intriguing. Hounsou as Theros is cool...I like that. And Brendon Glieson as Flint is an interesting idea. But I have to question your sanity with Bader as Caramon...and...you do realize that Tas is male, right? ;)

She is young, right body type, and by her performice i saw on the Practice I believe she could pull it off to a T. hell it will not be the first time a women played a man, Linda Hunt won a Academy Award playing a man in the movie THe Year of Living Dangerously

I think we're just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. heh heh I see kender as childlike, yes...but not effeminate. Someone suggested John Leguizamo (that guy who played Luigi in Super Mario Bros.) once for Tas...I thought that was an interesting choice.

#68 green_cloaked_sorcerer May 19, 2004 1:29:25	Perhaps no one has learned from Star Wars, all the Comic Book movies and LotR that Big names more often then not ruin not only the movie but the character. Almost all the comic book actors were no names or close to it before the movies came out... Hugh Jackman, Toby McGuire (who does have Raists frame), Eric Bana, guy who played Night Crawler, and so on. But the thing is also, having people who have never heard of the characters, like Hugh Jackman never having heard of Wolvie(WTF was that??!?) personally I think he did an OK job at best, and I think going the way of getting fans to play characters is the smart way to go. People who are intouch with the characters and love them study them and will know more about them than any actor who ever plays them in a movie. But as we know Hollywood is a bunch of Fu*k tards and will find some way to mess up the wonderful story...(Damn you Peter Jackson and your lack of Scouring of the Shire!) no names are the way to go, its part of what made LotR good and the Comics good. Personally I hate people like Samuel L Jackson in Star Wars, it just proves how much of a sell out Lucas has become. Its also why sequals to movies with the same actors aren't as good, because the people get greedy, get thier money and let thier talent slip.... (last few seasons of Drew Carey)(not a movie but sell out factor still there). Now for actors and actresses.... James Marsters for Raist, wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't so tall but I love the guy one of the best actors I have seen, and if I was a a Vamp Spike would be my boss and idol. I don't think Ed Norton (dispite that he is one kick ass versitle actor) would be a good Raist/Caramon, hence also why James wouldn't be good, even with CG you don't want him too look to stupid all buffed up. I mean Lou Furigno has Caramon's build and isn't quite as famous as Aranold, but still. I saw someone put Eliza Dushku as Kitiara, and I think she would be good even though Eliza is a little short, but shes got the spunky bit*h attitude that drives guys like Tanis and I wild(I love Eliza!) Laurana, that would be a little tough, b/c well if Cate Blanchett is the hottest Elf ever(Gladriel according to JRR Tolkein is the mst beautiful elf ever) then I don't know how ugly the elves really were cause she is BLAH! Luarana is amazingly beautly even she didn't age in Raists eyes.. so who has that look? and even though I did say keep away from A-list actors Shannon Elizabeth looked killer as a blonde in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, I think she has the looks, but i dunno if she could act it, even though she is an awesome actress. My brother and I talked about this, and I think Lyndsey Lohan would be awesome as Tika, atleast as looks go, shes younge, looks good with curly hair, and can (surprising to me) acctually act. I went and saw Mean Girls with a friend and was acctually impressed. ad she is the right hieght compaired to Caramon, and looks like she could be a bar maiden. Personally I'd like to see myself as Tanis even though I hate the beard, but I understand the internal toment of Hot young Elf Maiden, or Spunky bit*h girl who likes lots of sex.... but to me I'm all about the Elf... But anywho I say fans like you my friends and I would beat the pants off these actors when it comes to playing these parts anyday. Sincerly, The Green Cloaked Sorcerer P.S. Palin kicks ass.
#69 theredrobedwizard May 19, 2004 12:26:43	The only real way to go is to cast me as Raistlin. I've got the psychotically frail frame, wracking cough, scary whisper voice (when I need it), and a penchant for evil and power. Slap on some gold skin paint and dye my hair white, and we're good to go. As for the rest of the characters... Raistlin: Me Fizban: Christopher Walken Laurana: Sarah Michelle Gellar Sturm: Christian Bayle Tanis: James Marsters Caraman: Marc Blucas Tas: Daniel Tosh Flint: Armin Shimmerman Tika: Lindsay Lohan Goldmoon: Anne Hathaway Riverwind: Johnny Depp So that's all I can think of now... oh well... -TRRW P.S. - GCS, smaller paragraphs.
